I guess a 2.7 million lawsuit was not enough to motivate wesley into improving their situation...my mother suffered at their fate and ultimately died and this is 8 years later. We will be seeking answers and are prepared for the long haul. This monster is big but the bigger they are the harder they fall. I want to spread the word, if you need to seek medical care "Don't go to Wesley" If you have no other choice have someone stay with you 24/7 and family and friends work in shifts. We witnessed so many mistakes but we were afraid if we voiced our concerns too much we feared she might receive worse care. I will make it my moral and ethical duty to warn friends ,family & strangers of the horrors we witnessed so this substandard treatment whether it be from nursing shortages or whatever excuse they create can be stopped...Speak Up, check on different hospitals, ask if they have enough nurses on shift, question medications being administered, etc...My mom's life may have been different but we believe with the families support and love she would have made a promising recovery. PASS IT ON!!!
